Beautiful, remote and secluded home situated on ridge top overlooking Salt River valley affording fabulous views year round. Forty plus acres of rolling woodlands and meadows adjoining Taylorsville Lake Wildlife Management Area offer ample wildlife viewing and hiking opportunities. Prime hunting land not harvested in over 20 years also adjacent to WMA land with local access to Taylorsville lake and Salt River with fishing, kayaking, nature trails, etc. Don't miss the opportunity to own this nature lover's paradise. Secluded hillside home nestled on 42 acres of rolling woodlands centrally located between Louisville and Lexington. Overlooking the scenic Salt River and Taylorsville Lake WMA, this personal wildlife preserve has no neighbors in view or nearby.

City water is installed and a separate 8000 gallon water supply is maintained as backup and irrigation source. Partially finished basement complete with wood stove, safe room and storage. We are mainly gauging interest in this point and will show by appointment only to qualified buyers who show extreme interest.
